Shantay Blue Stay: JetBlue Celebrates Pride With Drag Race Plane

Heck I'm gay and it seems just over the top. It would have been a better video if it was more about the tongue in cheek phrases that aren't blasted at you through a bullhorn. Sorry but Bob The Drag Queen and Trixie Mattel weren't the right pair for this video. Would have been better to be Bianca Del Rio and another queen to play the "nice one" instead of the mess that was in this video.

It's just really stunning and quite refreshing and simply hilarious to witness how far society has come. I am just in awe -- thanks for posting this Lucky. And for all of you Stormy Daniels followers ... just to "enlighten you" , old Stormy is a regular at perennial LGBT club/ hot spot The Abbey in West Hollywood ,California. She strolls in and out with her entourage and gets out on the dance floor and shakes her groove thing!!!!!! The crowd seems to simply adore her! Just You Tube that one..... Umph.

@Robert Hanson, the people on the plane are Jetblue employees, my son is one of them and he was the winner of the naming of the plane contest. This was a promotional video about the naming of the plane. The only reason why its drag queens performing a skit is because the name that was choosen "Shantay Blue Stay" is a take on what RuPaul says on the show. Plus, JetBlue is a company that is very pro LGBTQ. Its suppose to be all in fun and bring attention to the LGBTQ community. Jetblue does alot for others as well, great example is when they fly police officers or firefighters for free when one or more of their brothers is killed in action. At the pride parade in Manhattan they give away a few free trips for 2 to anywhere in the US. Giving back to any community is a great thing.

Let's start by saying: this is your blog, which I mostly greatly enjoy, and you are entitled to post whatever you want. Then again, I am entitled to my reaction to individual posts, and since you have a comments section, I feel as entitled to post that reaction as anyone else. "You really think that in the US gays aren’t still second class citizens? " Lets see, the US Ambassador to Germany, appointed by Donald Trump, is openly gay. Pete Buttigieg is a major Democratic candidate for POTUS, and doesn't seem to think that being openly gay is going to doom his campaign. The Mayor of Seattle is a Lesbian. The so liberal Major Media are all very pro LGBT. So yes, while I understand a small minority of folks are "homophobic" (sic), for the most part being gay is not going to keep you from getting a job with a major corporation, from joining the Marines, being a Movie (Jodi Foster)/TV star ('Ellen'), or running for public office. Frankly calling the US homophobic is like calling it racist. I'll believe that the US is no longer majority racist when a Black man gets elected POTUS. Twice. Oh, wait.... The gay card is as out of date as the race card. Torn from todays news: "3 Openly Gay Candidates are Running for Congress in Texas General Election", and another one is running for Governor. And yes, I did say TEXAS ! I should preface the following by saying: I've never been to a strip club, a drag show, or a Kabuki performance. "Drag isn’t about... any “erotic” value...think of drag as being more along the lines of kabuki theater" Yeah, except for the following: The Japanese government has tried to suppress Kabuki a number of times over the centuries for being too sexually explicit. From Wikipedia: "1603–1629: Female kabuki Much of its appeal in this era was due to the ribald, suggestive themes featured by many troupes; this appeal was further augmented by the fact that the performers were often also available for prostitution". So is drag like that or not? "In 2005, the Kabuki theatre was proclaimed by UNESCO as an intangible heritage possessing outstanding universal value." Will Ru-Paul be considered a part of an 'intangible heritage possessing outstanding universal values' 400 years from now? So is drag like that or not? "a “Stormy Daniels strip show” (lord have mercy on me…)." So now you're just making my point for me. Putting the most outrageous style of gay "fabulous-ness", so far out there that openly gay commentators on this post say "I’m a gay guy who thinks the whole drag race thing is stupid and overdone", on a commercial flight is, as you say, "just wonderful". But an expression of normal straight culture, like a bikini calendar, is somehow 'deplorable'. Ignoring that one would have to go out of their way to see that calendar, whereas every person on that flight is being forced to watch, or at least listen to, the drag "safety demonstration", whether or not they find it offensive. And I note that two groups that would find it offensive, are (non-'fabulous') gays, and conservative Christians. And let's not even mention orthodox Muslims. ;) So if folks want to have drag shows in gay bars, and on obscure channels like Logo, fine. I have no problem with that. But forcing folks locked in a narrow body plane to endure it is just, well, obscene. Supporting Drag shows: good. Supporting straight males: deplorable. Supporting LGBT 'community': good. Supporting the NRA, evil. If what you want is an entire country fiercely engaged in a culture war, this is how you go about it. ;)

"I’m curious how you’d like a company to show their support for the LGBT community?" Well, it depends. Are they a transportation company, or a Trans activist group? I'm sure if they now have Stormy Daniels do a strip show on a flight, and Lucky posts a video of it, there would be a chorus of complaints in the comments. Especially from the LGBT members, who would decry the support of 'heterocentic' values. From a previous OMAAT post: "VietJet is a Vietnamese low cost carrier that is perhaps best known globally for their annual flight attendant bikini calendar. Personally I’m not a fan of objectifying flight attendants in that way...Anyway, I never post about the bikini calendars". So yeah, a most outrageous gay performance on a commercial flight is just "supporting" gay "pride", but something as 'vanilla' from straight culture as a bikini calendar is a 'degrading objectification of women' (sic). If it's really going to be about live and let live, then stop the 'toxic masculinity' slurs. There was a time when gays were second class citizens (or worse). Having learned nothing from that experience, the LGBT community has decided they now want to be the bigots. 'Everything gay is ok, everything straight is disgusting'. And as the backlash from that occurs, they will have no idea they had a major part in creating it. ;)
